Primary record
I humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offenses of the Church herself, but also for crimes committed against the native peoples during the so-called conquest of America.
I also would like us to remember the thousands of priests and bishops who strongly opposed the logic of the sword with the power of the Cross.
